It's been a few days since Kate's argument with her mom. Chloe could tell she's been a bit depressed since then and for good reason. If Kate doesnt find a way to make some money she wont be able to attend her last semester. Chloe knew Kate didnt have the time to get a job and part time work wont cut it.
That's why Chloe was at the dinner table looking through the newspaper for wanted ads. If her family wont take care of her then i will.
Both her mom and David sat at the table with breakfast in front of them but were to confused to eat it. Chloe Never read the paper.
Joyce spoke. Ummm honey what are you looking at?
Chloe continued to scan the paper. Im looking to make some money so Kate can finish school. Fuck, this town is small to begin with so not a whole lot of job openings but i dont have a diploma or a G.E.D this hella sucks. Just had to get in trouble with the school didn't ya Price.
David and Joyce exchanged looks. Wow never thought id see the day. David said.
Normally Chloe would have talked back at him but she was to occupied and didnt hear him. David left for work leaving Joyce and Chloe alone in the kitchen.
Im very proud of you honey, doing so much for another person.
Chloe sighed. Please mom no mushy talk.
Joyce giggled. Alright you continue what your doing, im going shopping.
And with that Chloe was left alone and she groaned. Come on give me a hella break i just want to help out Kate. That's when she noticed something. She read through the add and beamed. This is right up my ally. Chloe grabbed her keys and dashed out to her truck.I just hope it works out...
Kate's pov-Kate was in her dorm room looking into the full body mirror. Its your life be who you want to be.
Kate clenched her fists. Chloe's right, its my life, its time i live for myself and be who i want to be. Kate undid her bun and let her hair fall. Your hair looks good down, you should do it more often.
Kate took a hard look and had to admit she did look good with her hair down. Kate smiled. I got a couple hours till next class im sure i can get some shopping done...
Chloe's pov- I don't know Chloe, you dont exactly have the best reputation around here and you dont even have a high school diploma.
Chloe was talking with Mitch the owner of the tattoo parlor in town. He had an ad with a full time position.
Chloe begged. Please Mitch i'm begging you! I need this job, its not just for me but for my girl as well. I'll do anything, just give me a chance i swear i wont screw it up.
Mitch was quiet for a few moments then sighed. Alright alright, i'll give you a chance Chloe, can you do piercing jobs?
Chloe nodded. Yes i can.
Mitch replied. Alright we'll start there and if things work out well, I'll teach you how to do ink.
Chloe smiled. Thanks so much Mich i swear you wont regret this.
Mitch smiled back. I better not Price, you start next monday at 8 a.m sharp alright?
Chloe nodded again. I got it and thank again!...
Chloe got into her truck and immediately sent a text.
Chloe- Hey Kate i have some big news!
a few moments later Kate texted back.
Kate- oh really? i have big news to :).
Chloe- Hella awesome, we can meet tonight if that's ok, and no emoji!
Kate-lol, meet me in my dorm after school you'll be in for a shock i promise you ;).
Chloe- It has to be hella awesome to shock me, and i'll definetly be there...and NO EMOJI!
Chloe put her phone down and headed for the diner for some late lunch. Wonder what she's got to tell me, well whatever it is im sure i'll enjoy it...
Chloe knocked on Kate's door. She waited till she heard a. Come in!
Chloe opened the door and shut it behind her. Alright babe what is it you wanted...to..tell...me...Chloe could not believe what she was seeing.
Kate stood in the middle of the room. Her usual christian girl look was completely gone. Her hair was down, she wore a dark red shirt that exposed her shoulders, skin tight dark blue jeans and white tennis shoes, she still had her cross around her neck and she had on some colored bracelets on her right wrists. Chloe was completly captivated.
Kate blushed a bit and asked. Sooo what do you think?...no response.
Kate giggled. Well say something
...Wow.. was all Chloe mumbled.
Kate smiled. Is that all you gotta say?...wow..Kate laughed more. I'll take that as a yes.
Chloe finally snapped out of her trance and smirked. Alright you, who are you and what have you done to Kate Marsh?
Kate replied. She did a little upgrade.
I'll say, damn, you look hella amazing!
Kate blushed. Thanks, i've been thinking a lot lately, especially the words you said a while ago, it's time i become myself, do things that I want to do.
Chloe walked up to her and held her in an embrace. Im hella proud of you, and i must say i am surprised.
Kate smiled. I knew you would be.
Chloe kissed her hard. Kate closed her eyes and kissed back with equal passion. After a few moments they broke apart.
You know im still missing something.
Chloe raised a brow. Oh yeah?
Kate nodded. Remember your promise on the day when we first went to the beach together? To jog Chloe's memory Kate walked over to the dresser and picked up a bottle of hair dye.
Chloe beamed. Now we're talking!...
Chloe was applying the dye in Kate's hair. So what's your new's Chloe?
Chloe smiled as she rubbed the dye in. I just got a job at the tattoo parlor i start monday.
Kate smiled. That's great Chloe! im very proud.
Chloe replied. Its for you, you know.
Kate looked up at her bit confused. For me?
Chloe nodded. I'm going to use every dime i make to make sure you finish you next semester and get that diploma.
Kate cover her gasp with her hands as tears welled up in her eyes. Chloe! She hugged Chloe tightly.
Chloe smiled and hugged back. Chloe..thank you, your the best.
Chloe replied. I told you i take care of ya didnt i? Kate just nodded. Things are definetly looking up again, Kate's finally being herself and i couldn't be more happier and proud of her
